Death: Captain Millennium

Lin Yu touched his head and sighed, "My trick failed this time. It seems I really have to go to that big dog to ask for the art of humanization." A helpless expression appeared on his face.

Watching Lin Yu's actions, Komamura lowered his head and said with guilt on his face: "I'm so sorry! Captain, I still don't have the courage to take off the mask. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Lin Yu gently patted Komamura's shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, Komamura. Don't blame yourself too much. Everyone has their own psychological barriers that are difficult to overcome. However, we can't go on like this. We must find a solution to the problem."

Komamura raised his head, his eyes full of confusion, and asked, "Captain, what should I do then?"

Lin Yu smiled slightly and said mysteriously, "I heard that your werewolf tribe has a secret technique, the human transformation technique, which can make your werewolf faces become the same as ordinary people. As long as you learn this secret technique, you can freely control your appearance in the future and never have to worry about being talked about by others."

Upon hearing this, Komamura's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Captain, how did you know this? This is a secret of the werewolf clan."

Lin Yu shrugged and replied with a smile: "Don't worry about how I know this. I just want to ask you if you want to learn this technique?"

Komamura nodded excitedly, his eyes gleaming with desire. "Of course I want to learn! If I can master the art of humanization, it will not only solve my problems, but also allow me to better integrate into human society and better repay Master Genryūsai. However... I can't learn this secret technique."

Lin Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said confidently: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me. All you have to do is practice well."

Komamura looked at Lin Yu with tears of gratitude and promised solemnly: "Thank you, Captain! I will definitely work hard to practice and live up to your expectations."

Lin Yu smiled and nodded in approval, encouraging Komamura: "Very good, the most important thing now is to return to your tribe and ask for this secret technique."

Komamura looked at Lin Yu with some doubt and said, "Captain, didn't you say that this matter was handed over to you?"

Lin Yu lost his balance and nearly fell over. He explained with a helpless smile, "Komamura! I only know this secret technique, but I don't know where your werewolf tribe's base is."

Komamura nodded in sudden realization and replied, "I understand, Captain."

In order to resolve this matter as quickly as possible, Lin Yu and Komamura Zuozhen set out on the road to the werewolf tribe's settlement. Along the way, Lin Yu continued to teach Komamura, and Komamura also humbly learned, and his strength also improved slightly.

When they arrived at their destination, Komamura pointed to the area that looked like a primeval forest and proudly introduced it to Lin Yu: "Captain, this is where our werewolf tribe is stationed."

Lin Yu looked around curiously and sighed, "As the rumors say, you werewolves don't like interacting with humans, so you choose to live in seclusion in the mountains."

Komamura smiled and nodded, explaining, "Yes, Captain, our people prefer to live freely in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the world."

Lin Yu smiled teasingly and said, "It seems that you are the only exception among your werewolf clan. You are actually willing to follow humans to explore the world."

Komamura stared ahead and spoke slowly, "Captain, Genryūsai-sama should have told you. I've been indebted to him, and I must repay his kindness no matter what. My way of repaying him is to pledge my loyalty to him, even to the point of sacrificing my life for it."

After hearing this, the captain was silent for a moment before replying, "Alright, since werewolves don't like interacting with humans, I'll wait here. You can go and ask for the humanization technique. If you encounter any difficulties, I will personally go and ask for it for you."

Komamura asked hesitantly, "Captain, won't you come with me? I'm not entirely confident I can successfully obtain this secret technique."

The captain smiled and said encouragingly, "Go ahead and give it a try. How will you know if it works if you don't try?"

Komamura nodded gratefully: "Captain has given me so much help, let me face the rest alone." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the residence of the werewolf tribe.

Komamura walked into the tribe. The tribesmen were surprised to see him back, as they had not seen him for a long time. Komamura ignored them and went straight to the cave where his grandfather was and explained his purpose to his grandfather.

Komamura's grandfather rejected his request outright, "The art of human transformation is a secret technique of our werewolf clan. I will not pass it on to you."

Upon hearing this, Komamura immediately knelt on the ground and begged, "Grandfather, I know this is the secret technique of the werewolf tribe, but I really need it. I hope you can teach it to me."

His grandfather looked at Komamura's determined expression and suddenly burst into laughter. "Komamura, do you really want this secret technique?"

"Yes, I hope my grandfather can teach me."

"Whatever the cost?"

"Grandfather, please tell me what you want. I'm willing to pay any price."

"What if I ask for your heart? Give me your heart, and I will teach you this secret technique."

Komamura's face turned grim after hearing this. He said bitterly, "Grandfather... do you really want my heart?"

After a moment of hesitation, Komamura was about to speak when a voice interrupted him. "Don't be so shameless, old dog. You want Komamura's heart to prolong your life, right?"

"Who is it?" The sudden voice startled both Komamura and his grandfather.

Lin Yu slowly walked out from the darkness, his expression indifferent, "What? Am I wrong, old dog?"

"Captain, why are you here? Didn't you say you were waiting for me outside?"

"Komamura, if I don't come soon, you'll have to agree to donate your heart, right? I asked you to ask for the humanization technique so that you could become a better person. If you really donate your heart, even if you don't die for a short time, how will you repay the old man? A moment of glory and then death? This is not the result I want."

Komamura remained silent. He knew that what Lin Yu said made sense, but he didn't want to go against his grandfather's wishes.

Big Dog was furious. "Captain? You're the captain of the Gotei 13? Komamura, you actually brought outsiders to the werewolf tribe?"

Komamura didn't know how to start for a moment.

"Even if you are the captain of the Gotei 13, what does it matter? If I don't want to give you this secret technique, can you still snatch it away?" Big Dog was quite confident in his own strength.

"Komamura, I won't hold you accountable for bringing outsiders here. Now I ask you again, are you willing to give up your heart in exchange for this secret technique?"

"Humph!" Lin Yu sneered, "Do you think I don't know what you're planning? You just want to use Komamura to prolong your life."

Komamura's grandfather's face changed. "You are talking nonsense! Komamura is my grandson, how could he do such a thing?"

Lin Yu looked at Komamura and said, "Go out first. I want to have a good talk with your grandfather."

Komamura opened his mouth and said, "Captain...", but finally left the cave.

Lin Yu placed his hand on his Zanpakutō. "Big Dog, don't you want to prolong your life? At worst, I won't need the human transformation technique, but I will kill you directly. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Komamura's grandfather stood up from his prone position, his aura suddenly bursting forth, "Arrogant Death God, I will make you pay for what you said!"

Facing the huge dog in front of him, Lin Yu was not panicked at all. The spiritual pressure in his body burst out and instantly pressed the standing big dog back to the ground.

Feeling the immense pressure coming from him, Komamura's grandfather struggled desperately, "Who are you?"

Lin Yu drew his Zanpakutō and pointed it at the big dog, murderous intent surging. "You don't need to know who I am. I'll say it again, hand over the human transformation technique, or I'll kill you. Don't you want to live? I'll make sure you can't live. And then I'll make your entire werewolf clan exterminate you from Soul Society."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Komamura's grandfather's pupils constricted. This man's strength and cold murderous intent told him that this was no joke. If he didn't hand over this secret technique, the werewolf clan would be exterminated, and he would die too.

Lin Yu's eyes were cold, "1, 2,..."

"Stop... stop. I am willing to hand over the humanization technique to Komamura." When Komamura's grandfather said this, he felt the pressure on him relieved and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Yu heard the answer he wanted, and a smile appeared on his face again. "That's right, he's a good dog. I'll go let Komamura in."

"Sir, you don't have to go out." The shadow in Komamura's grandfather's heart has not yet dissipated.

"I'll go out now. I'm not interested in your humanization technique. As long as you are willing to teach it to Komamura, that's fine." After saying that, Lin Yu turned around and walked out of the cave.

"Komamura, go in. Your grandfather has agreed to teach you the art of human transformation."

Although he didn't know what the captain and grandfather had talked about, Komamura had just felt a huge fluctuation of spiritual pressure, and the pressure made him tremble. "Thank you, Captain!"

Lin Yu patted his shoulder and said, "No need to thank me, just go in."

A moment later, Komamura's roar was heard from the cave. The voice sounded creepy, and the owner of the voice was in extreme pain.

After the roar continued for a while, Komamura walked out of the cave. Lin Yu looked at Komamura, whose dog face had turned into a human face, and said, "Wow, you are still a handsome guy, not bad!"

Komamura blushed, "Captain, you're joking."

"Now that we're done, let's go back to Seireitei."

"Captain, you go back first. I plan to stay for another day. After all, I haven't been back for a long time."

"Then I'll go back first."

"Thank you for your help, Captain. I will always remember it." Looking at Lin Yu's leaving back, Komamura's voice came from behind.

Lin Yu waved his hand and left the werewolf tribe's residence in an instant.
